Pros
-Great experience - Good compensation -Great People -Open door policy -Copious amounts of time off available -Most jobs are not very technical or dangerous -You can make an exceptional amount of money for what little physical stress your body endures
Cons
-The company promotes based on Nepotism -Skilled laborers tend to leave after the first few years of employment due to lack of career/fiscal opportunities -Attempting to make large transitions from small cooperation to large cooperation. I wouldn't say this a con for the company, but many of the decisions being made are clearly cookie-cutter "we saw this place making more money" choices. Hard to implement automotive ideology(Lean) into a factory that mainly produces window shades. -Huge divide between office and manufacturing -Being too good at your job can be a big negative when applying for other positions
